Bay Bridge Dismantling, San Francisco

M9, 50mm Summicron The old 2 mile long eastern span of the Bay Bridge had been proven unsafe in an earthquake. A new, safer bridge was recently completed. A contract stipulation for the dismantling of the old bridge is that no debris be allowed to drop into the bay. Piece by piece, the steel will be removed for recycling. The new bridge construction, at 6.3 billion, was several billion dollars over budget and way behind schedule. The removal of the old bridge will take years, and is already behind schedule, and millions over budget.

 

Thanks for having a look.

Thanks, all. GEORG, thanks for asking. I've been documenting the project from below, for several years. I'll dig thru the files and post some more under another thread hopefully later today.

Music to a construction arbitrator's ears :-)
